The Lagos State Safety Commission has shut the multi-billion multi-national shopping outlet, Shoprite located at the Ikeja Shopping Mall, Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, for allegedly breaching safety law.
Officials of the commission were said to have stormed Shoprite on Friday afternoon and drove everyone out and sealed off the massive premises, placing a seal order at the entrance.
The seal order notice read: “Sealed, this premises has been sealed following the breach of safety law. This seal must not be broken. For further enquiries, contact the Commission.”
When P.M.NEWS visited the place Friday night, many customers who did not know that the place had been shut were stranded outside the premises.
Efforts to get the Director General of the commission to speak on the matter proved abortive as he was not available to attend to our correspondent.
However, a source in the commission told P.M.NEWS that the place was shut for failing to abide by the safety laws of the state.
The source said there had been complaints by members of the public about adulterated and expired products being sold in the outlet, adding that investigation was also carried out before the place was shut.
